  • There died a myriad,

    And of the best, among them,

    For an old bitch gone in the teeth,

    For a botched civilization.

    Charm, smiling at the good mouth,

    Quick eyes gone under earth's lid,

    For two gross of broken statues,

    For a few thousand battered books

  • Daring as never before, wastage as never before.

    Young blood and high blood,

    Fair cheeks, and fine bodies;

    fortitude as never before

    frankness as never before,

    disillusions as never told in the old days,

    hysterias, trench confessions,

    laughter out of dead bellies..

  • These fought, in any case,

    and some believing, pro domo, in any case ..

    Some quick to arm,

    some for adventure,

    some from fear of weakness,

    some from fear of censure,

    some for love of slaughter, in imagination,

    learning later ...

    some in fear, learning love of slaughter;

    Died some pro patria, non dulce non et decor" ..
